Qur'an: Yusuf: Joseph: Pt 1

Reading of the Holy Qur'an.

[@thunder9134]

The fact that the ruler of Egypt is called king and not pharaoh shows how accurate the Quran is. The title of the Ruler of Egypt during the time of Joseph is specifically said to be "King" (Arabic: Malik) whilst that of the Ruler of Egypt during the time of Moses is specifically said to be "Pharaoh." This is interesting because according to historical sources, the title Pharaoh only began to be used to refer to the rulers of Egypt (starting with the rule of Thutmose III) in 1479 BCE - years after the prophet Joseph (alayhi salam) died

[@MilahanPhilosophersCorner]

Very interesting.

[@maliksadaf99]

Egyptian hieroglyphics was a dead language .it was only in 18-19 century it was revived. it was then understood that during time of Joseph/Yusuf ruler of Egypt were called kings and during time of Moses there were called Pharoah. Interestingly Bible doesn't make that distinction but Quran does. And no man during prophet's time could have known this.hence this also proves Quran is neither copied from Bible nor written by any man.

[@magenta993]

I'm sorry but that's absloutly wrong,,, Regarding the word "Pharaoh", the Quran always warns that "Pharaoh" is not a title or description but rather the name of a person, the only king in Egypt that was called "Pharaoh" is the king of Egypt at the time of Moses, the Quran when he mentions the word “A"al آل ” as an example: آل عمران the Imran family, آل هارون the Harun family, آل فرعون The Pharaoh’s family, the word “A'al” in the Arabic language only comes with the name of a human being and cannot come with a surname or king's title, and everyone who said that the king of Egypt nicknamed was “Pharaoh” was a mistake from the point of view of the Quran because the word “king” was always the only title of the kings of Egypt and I read books about the history of Egypt and the titles of its kings and confirmed that all of them called them "the king" and not a "Pharaoh".

[@magenta993]

@Abdennour Allaoua I know what I say 100% and I read a lot in these matters. First, it cannot be said “ آل رسول الله Aa'l the messenger of Allah.” This is a false Quranic statement. The correct one is the saying “A'al Muhammad.” The word “A'al” only comes with the name of a person, this is what the Quran is saying and not me, if you have evidence then give us evidence from the Quran first. Secondly, The books on the history of the civilization of Egypt don't mention that at the time of Musa they were called the King of Egypt by "Pharaoh", but that the Egyptian scholars and commentators and writers familiar with the civilization and history of Egypt denied this, and the matter was mixed with us because of the distortions of the Bible and its interference on us, but the Quran and the Arabic language categorically deny this, To prove your point you must come up with a Quranic and historical evidences. There are videos on KZbin, but in Arabic, which clarify this topic more.

[@chromebender8912]

Ainwai UAE فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ This is incorrect. AL means the household of or the family of, there is nothing indicating that its exclusive to a name in the Quran, nor to the Arabic language in general. What is clear, is that Fir’aun was used when relating the story of Moses, while Malik was used to relate the story of Jospeh. The best you can translate these to English are Pharoah and King respectively, there’s no need for reaching or mental gymnastics here والله أعلم

[@DarkKnightDad]

Pharaoh or King: Actually the Quran does explicitly say King instead of Pharaoh in the story of Joseph (whereas Pharaoh is used with Moses's story)... Recently, there are some research that allude that Joseph could have actually lived during the gap when the Hyksos ruled Egypt. Also, the Hyksos used to refer to the one in charge as King, not Pharaoh. So, this could be a further proof about the authenticity of the Quran, and that it is not simply Arabic copy of the bible [as some people claim], since this part is clearly different from the bible.

Surah Yusuf is the only Surah which contains the complete story. Other stories of Prophets are found in different parts of the Quran.

[@mohammedshakoor4718]

Yeah I agree with that - but no doubt it must be for a reason ( see Surah Milk: hal taraa min futoor) Even then it's still only an outline - hence RasoolAllah sallAllahoo Aleihi wasallam giving a commentary in hadith.. Also remember that stories of the prophets in the Qur'an just serve as highlights because they're really reminders. Everyone knew about the Prophets (aleihimussalaam) that were mentioned in the Qur'an. Makkah had Christians and Jews as it was a trade hub and the pagans knew because the Arabs were great story tellers. Even today we see people that don't really follow the 3 Abrahamic faiths, who will tune into the Christmas story and watch "technicolour dreamcoat" ... just for the entertainment factor... And then there are the descendents of Ismail Aleihissalaam who were the direct lineage of RasoolAllah sallAllahoo Aleihi wasallam that kept to deen-e-haneef.. ie belief in Allah. Hope you didnt mind my comment. ***Personal opinion: There are meant to be around 124,000 Messengers (aleihimussalaam).. but only a small number are mentioned in the bible.. The highlights and reminder theory would make sense here because the local population would only know about the local Prophets.. as in the middle east.. It probably wouldn't make sense to remind and give highlights of Prophets who they never heard of. Allahu Aalam.. **** End of Personal Opinion

[@modatherali2543]

every story demanded by disbelivers as challange to the prophet revieled complete in one place in the Quran and every story revieled by allah to comfort , teach and support the prophet and his companions revieled repititvely according to the situation

[@modatherali2543]

example then men in the cave Azra and his resurication alkhider the prophet who taught moses yossuf story the just king who rule the world the two men and the two garden all appear in one place in Quaran because they are challange by the jews to the prophet

[@DarkKnightDad]

Random points: 1-It is a misspelling in both cases: "pest"->"best", "at"-> "eat" 2-Other translations say "cow" and as an Arabic speaker I consider "cow" to be obviously more correct, unless the translator knows something that I don't know 3-in these particular verses "snare" refers to "lust, seduction, and trickery", but I guess the translator wanted to keep the word "snare" because it is the literal translation of the Arabic word used in the Quran 4-the Arabic word that was translated into "chiefs" literally means "the important people" or "the noble people", it refers to any group of people who represent a larger people, whether they are chiefs, knights, prominent wise people, members of the parliament, elderly that are respected in the community...etc. So, probably, chiefs sounded like a more suitable translation

THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE ACTUALLY GOT THIS WRONG BECAUSE of THE BIBLE SAYS So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh. [41:14] Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do." [41:25] That Pharaos were not there around Joseph time

Verses 52-53 burst me into everytime I read them.

[@amnamasood1795]

A few things... 1- Waaaay too many typos in the translation 😳 2-ALR is "Alif Laam Ra" ا لر There are a few chapters that open with these or others (e.g. Alif Laam Meem الم) characters of the arabic language. No one really knows what they signify or mean or why those particular chapters have them. Allah SWT knows best. There are some ayats which are clear and some which can be interpreted this way or that way. It comes under those ayats in which Allah SWT doesn't go into details regards to it's meaning and of those ayats, Allah SWT says that He is the only one that knows what they completely mean. The most we do is guess. 3-In all historical incidents in the Quran, Allah SWT only mentions the most relevent parts of them like it says in 12:7 "signs for those who ask". Allah SWT doesn't go into too much details e.g. the color of the coat or the names of the brothers or the land they belonged from, unless it is relavent. 😊 What I mean to say is, Allah SWT when He narrates a story- that will be recited and contemplated upon till the end of time- He sticks to the fundamentals. In other texts there are alot of details which aren't found in the Quran. The brothers, ofcourse, had names, the woman had a name, Joseph (AS) had a complete life before, inbetween and after the events mentioned in the Quran. However, if Allah SWT didn't think of those as relevent to the lesson being taught, He didn't mention them. Hence, we are subtly being told to sift out details and think of what IS being told. Moreover, why was it being reveled to Muhammad (SAW) and through him, to the believers of that time and presently. When you look at the historical context of this, this long surah was revealed at all once, during the toughest periods in the Prophet's life in Makkah. Allah SWT sent Muhammad SAW inspiration by revealing to him things from the unseen past of his predecessor's life. The trails Joseph AS went through, the hardships he suffered and despite that, the gratitude and rememberance of Allah SWT he maintained through it all. So it was to remind Muhammad SAW about patience and rememberance of Allah SWT when times are difficult. And through that, there is a lesson for us. Both in the life if Joseph and Muhammad (May peace be upon both). I like to read this surah when I'm upset and I'm trying to memorise it Insha Allah (If Allah wills) so that I can recite it to myself. It gives me comfort and is a powerful reminder to thank Allah SWT in difficulty. Because the troubles in my life are no way near the troubles in theirs but they still maintained a greater degree of patience, gratitude and rememberance of Allah SWT than I do. So, I'm told to follow the examples of the best mankind. (There is a brilliant analysis on youtube called "Guidance from Surah Yusuf-Omar Suleiman Singapore 2015. It's 1hr long but I think you'd like it since you said story of Joseph was important to you. I'd highly recommend it to you.)

[@shlovaski8393]

I think it’s important what you pointed out about the title of “pharoah”. This was only referred to the ruler of egypt during the new kingdom (time of moses) and not during the old kingdom (time of joseph). This is proven after the discovery of the rosetta stone which enabled us to decipher the hieroglyphs. The quran makes the distinction between ruler of egypt during the time of joseph calling him “king”, and the ruler at the time of Moses, calling him “pharaoh” whereas the bible refers to both rulers in different eras as “pharaoh” alike. This shows a few things: 1-the quran is more accurate than the bible in this regard, the bible has a historical errancy 2-the prophet muhammad did not copy the bible as a lot pf christian evangelicals like to claim, otherwise he wouldve copied the error 3-the Prophet Muhammad wouldnt have known this since understanding hieroglyphs wasnt a thing until the 20th century and he lived in the 7th, further proving his case of prophethood 4-Allah makes no mistakes

By Allah’s will Surah Yusuf is very relevant to my life. When I started to get into Islam learning the prayer and so forth, I went to Poland at that time a few years ago, with non Muslim friends one of them had a stag do, I went with them, I was just site seeing and going out to eat, they were doing the other stuff like women and so on. I was surrounded by temptation but the praying 5 times a day to Allah helped keep me away. We even went to a ‘massage place’ where two women worked. My friends did what they did with the women there, I just sat outside the rooms playing ps1 games on my tablet lol, the women invited me to do sins with them, but I said I can only do that when I’m married one day, I was so tempted on my last day there so do something with woman but I prayed and resisted, by God’s will I didn’t do anything. I came back home to the U.K. I had a job interview, by Allah’s will an English guy came up to me and after a brief conversation he said the Shahada with me and became a Muslim by God’s will. This happened a day or so after by God’s will I avoided the temptation in Poland from the women. By Allah’s will quite a few people have said there Shahada with me reverting to Islam by Allah’s will. It started since I came back that day from Poland. May Allah make loads more people say the Shahada with us and keep all of us on the straight path Aameen.

There was no pharaoh at the time of Josef as it was at the time of Moses later on time. At the time of Jousef.Egipt was rolled by a series of kings not Pharaohs.

The Quran speaks of a King of Egypte in the time of Joseph and not of a paraoph. Historians agree that King and not pharaoh ruled Egypte in the time of Joseph which was 4500years ago. Pharaoh came later.

You wonder, why doesn't the Quran use the term Pharaoh rather than king? Words in the Quran are placed where they fit. No word can replace the other. The term Pharaoh comes whenever there is mischief or transgression. Notice that the king in the story did not commit a mischief or wrong doing. So, the term Pharaoh does not fit in this place, and God knows best.
